Am I allowed to write extensive paragraphs to make my points in a Design Brief?

• Yes, explain as much as possible without paying much attention to the length of your texts

• No, a design brief should present only the essential and relevant information. You should try to stay concise while offering sufficient data to make your points

Am I allowed to place pictures, charts..etc in my text to back up my statements or provide additional information?
